This Is Balls....these Guys A Nuts!

some things that have happened with AF1 that HAVE made the news...

Quote:Three days after the San Francisco Chronicle revealed that sensitive security details about Air Force One were publicly available on a Pentagon Web site - and more than a week after being notified by the paper - the Air Force finally removed the information from the Web, the Chronicle reports today.

    The security information — contained in a "technical order" — is used by rescue crews in the event of an emergency aboard various Air Force planes. But this order included details about Air Force One's anti-missile systems, the location of Secret Service personnel within the aircraft and information on other vulnerabilities that terrorists or a hostile military force could exploit to try to damage or destroy Air Force One, the president's air carrier.

Apparently, the document was posted online out of laziness or stinginess.

    Putting the order on the Internet, "was viewed (by someone) as a cost-effective method of making the information available," an unnamed official noted, "but it compromised information not only about Air Force One. … It had information about our entire fleet."
This article was posted in a UK tabloid, but the plans to the planes were indeed published. Highly classified, probably not, but the plans were pulled.

Clinton's plane briefly disappears from radar

    New York (Reuters) - President Clinton's plane disappeared briefly from air traffic control radar screens Friday but there was never any danger to those on board Air Force One, aviation officials said.

If they tagged airforce one, someone would have noticed right away, Ecko would be going up in front of congress and it would be all over the news.

If he 'disappears' in a few days time, I'll accept that as evidence that he truly did the deed as well.

a legal disclaimer on the website won't change what the president would do if he woke up and found the tag on his airplane in the morning. Also consider the number of people that follow these planes around the nation, you can bet someone around the plane would have leaked pictures of their own.

Just like how the US wouldn't let pictures of abu grahab prison leak either... and that's a bigger screwup than if AF1 got tagged.
